The Role
The Company
They didn't really invest in me, but at the end of the day the training schemes they did offer weren't great...
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Healthcare/Dental
There are opportunities to go back...I just didn't fancy it!!!
The Culture
Yeh, there was great banter....beech parties, footie matches, themed parties
Expensive!!! But at the end of the day you are living in the south of France!! I could ski in the winter every weekend, I lived 200m from the beech...not a bad life
Awesome, partied in Nice, Cannes, Juan les Pins, Antibes, Monaco...not likely to get bored
The French Unions are pretty strong so there were always events on and they were rediculously cheap to get involved in ie jet skiing trips, skiing trips etc
